Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
Ratapan Daud, yang dinyanyikan bagi TUHAN karena Kus, orang Benyamin itu. Ya TUHAN Allahku, aku berlindung pada-Mu; selamatkanlah dan lepaskanlah aku dari semua orang yang mengejar aku.
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Jangan biarkan mereka seperti singa menerkam dan menyeret aku dan tak ada pertolongan bagiku.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
Ya TUHAN Allahku, sekiranya aku berlaku curang, berbuat jahat terhadap kawan, atau merugikan lawan tanpa alasan, sekiranya aku berbuat demikian,
4 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
biarlah aku dikejar dan ditangkap musuh, lalu dibunuh dan ditinggalkan di tanah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
Bangkitlah dalam kemarahan-Mu, ya TUHAN, lawanlah amukan musuh-musuhku. Bangkitlah untuk menolong aku, sebab Engkau menuntut keadilan.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
Himpunlah bangsa-bangsa di sekeliling-Mu, dan berkuasalah atas mereka dari takhta-Mu di surga.
8 O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Engkau menghakimi umat manusia; berilah aku keadilan, ya TUHAN, sebab aku tidak bersalah.
9 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
Hentikanlah kejahatan orang durhaka dan teguhkanlah hati orang baik, sebab Engkau Allah yang adil, yang menyelami hati dan pikiran manusia.
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Pelindungku ialah Allah yang menyelamatkan orang yang tulus hati.
11 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
Allah adalah hakim yang adil, yang setiap saat menghukum orang jahat.
12 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
Kalau kelakuan mereka tidak berubah, Ia siap dengan senjata yang mematikan. Ia mengasah pedangnya dan merentangkan busurnya, lalu membidikkan panah-panah-Nya yang berapi.
13 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Lihatlah, orang jahat merencanakan kejahatan; ia membuat rencana jahat dan melakukan penipuan.
15 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Ia menggali lubang untuk orang lain, tetapi ia sendiri jatuh ke dalamnya.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
Jadi ia dihukum oleh kejahatannya sendiri, dan disiksa oleh kekerasannya sendiri.
17 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Aku bersyukur kepada TUHAN sebab Ia adil, kunyanyikan pujian bagi TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi.
